Strange leaf

[kevin562]

Hi everyone I am new to this forum and i would like to say thank you in advance!

This is my first 2 growing cannabis plant and I am worrying about their health. I had them from a friend and we transplant them from clones to soil. The bottom leaves have some white color on them and the top leaves seems to be doing good but i think they lack of something because the middle is slowly turning brown. I would like to know if they are looking good and what should I do to restore them if they are not ok.

They don't look too bad to me...ck PH of the water your using and the soil and make sure that's all ok and if it is, (6.8PH or close) just start gradually adding some nutrients...maybe 1/4 strength at first, then if they like it, 1/3 or 1/2 strength...keep reading the plants so you know how they react to what your doing...No need to worry yet. You didn't say how long it was from the transplanting to the pics, so it could just be they are just a little stressed from the transplanting also. As they grow bigger and fill out, less and less light get to the bottom leaves, they die and fall off, nothing to worry about...perfectly normal!

PS Good pics!

Thank you for your reply, I feel better if they don't look so bad :P. We transplanted them into soil March 1st so 1 week. When you say 1/4 strength do you mean 1/4 of the recipe on the label ?

Yep...start out easy because they are young...Too much, too soon and it will burn them and stunt the growth while they recover...watch the tips of the leaves....if the very tips start to turn yellow after feeding, that means they are getting all they can possibly use at that point. It's better to under feed than to over feed.

Yes, one week since transplanting, they may just be recovering from the stress.

Hey it's me again with my worrying :P I can see some sort of blackening of the leaves what is this ? I tested my pH and it's around 6.

I still don't see anything to worry about except that tiny piece of lint on the leaf...LOL! Don't worry so much...it's a weed and will grow pretty much whether you want it to or not as long as it gets light and some water every now and then...PH for soil should be around 6.8, tho.
